Problem: streaming videos from Time Capsule doesn't work on wireless-g.
Hypothesis: trick iTunes into following an alias to an internal drive when downloading or otherwise importing video into iTunes.
Implementation: looks like iTunes keeps videos in folders called "Movies", "TV Shows", and "Podcasts". (sidenote: music videos are kept in Artist's folders, but I don't care about them). Move these folders over to internal drive and create aliases to them in their place.
Result: Fail. iTunes can no longer find video files. Any newly downloaded or imported content is moved to a newly created folder titled after the "artist's" name, still on the Time Capsule drive.
Now for you guys. I read about something in OS X called Symbolic linking, which is supposed to be like aliasing. Would that work instead?
